Calcutta High Court

On Friday, the Calcutta HC scrutinized the role of Kolkata Police in the aftermath of the vandalism at R G Kar Medical College & Hospital.

Family of a woman doctor who was raped and murdered at R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital last week has petitioned the Calcutta High Court.

In response to mounting outrage and countrywide strikes, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee set a six-day deadline for the city police to solve the case.

The Calcutta HC directed the CBI to seek specialized agency assistance to recover OMR sheet data from primary teacher recruitment exams in West Bengal.

WB Guv CV Ananda Bose's defamation suit against CM Mamata Banerjee was adjourned, with the next hearing set for July 10 by the Calcutta HC.

A Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on Thursday imposed a penalty on West Bengal Madrasah Service Commission (WBMSC) for delaying the results of the recruitment examination for non-teaching staff by 13 years.

The petitioner contends that this decision discriminates against candidates adhering to instructions, disadvantaging them in the ranking process and endangering their future prospects.

On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected the BJP's plea challenging a Calcutta High Court order barring offensive advertisements against the TMC.

"Not everyone in the courts is bad. I respect the judiciary. But the person who has given this order... I will not accept it," CM asserted while addressing an election rally at Panihati of the Dumdum parliament constituency. 

Overall, the Supreme Court's intervention has temporarily halted the implementation of the High Court's order, providing a reprieve for the affected individuals and highlighting the broader issues surrounding the appointment process in public institutions.
